| - The Investors first appeared working with Monstroso who was in dire need of a new heart. The Investors then took the dying King Gorilla's heart and kidnapped Billy Quizboy who was pretending to be a doctor even though he did not have a degree. They then gave Billy a medical license so he could perform the heart transplant for Monstroso. The group then left after S.P.H.I.N.X. showed up. Months after saving Monstroso's life the Investors proceeded to murder a detained Monstroso who was in O.S.I. custody, via phasing him through the compartment wall and out of the airship, sending him plummeting to the ground. They then changed their forms to appear as government investigators for the incident, possibly to determine if anyone knew about their involvement. In All This and Gargantua-2, the Investors were revealed to be the financial backers of Jonas Venture Jr.'s space station Gargantua-2 and attended its grand opening. It is also revealed that they are responsible for allowing The Sovereign to becoming leader of the Guild for an unspecified contract in which The Sovereign was terrified of repaying this debt to them. Fearing for his life, The Sovereign attempted to have the Investors killed by destroying Gargantua-2. However, the Investors knew The Sovereign's plans and sabotaged the space station's controls which led to a meltdown before travelling to Meteor Majeure, where they confronted their brother, Dr. Henry Killinger, with the intent to kill him for not siding with their agenda. But Killinger prevailed in killing two of the Investors in a psychic duel before finishing the last one by stabbing his umbrella into him with the helpful interruption of The Monarch, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, and Henchman 21.
